Rapid prototyping processing characteristics

Rapid prototyping technology has broken the "blank → cutting → finished," the traditional parts processing mode, creating a precedent for parts without tool making, is an unprecedented method for processing a thin layer superimposed. Compared with traditional cutting methods, rapid prototyping process has the following advantages:
1, can quickly create a free-form surface and form more complex parts, such as parts of the grooves, the shoulder and the hollow portion, greatly reducing the cost of new product development and the development cycle.
2, is a non-contact processing, no tools required for cutting tools and fixtures, no tool wear and cutting forces.
3, no vibration, noise, and cutting waste.
4, can be realized fully automated production at night.
5, high efficiency, can quickly create solid models and molds products.
